Richmond
would like to welcome all of the Junior Handler semi-finalists to the show and
remind them that they should report to the Junior Handlers tent prior to joining
their class. Junior Handling classes start at 9.00 a.m. on all three days.

Exhibitors
are reminded that it is against K.C. regulations to bring any dog into the showground
that has not been entered. However, Richmond is providing a tent, with benches,
for unentered dogs located just outside the exhibitors' entrance. Rottweiler
Rescue will main this all day. A donation will be appreciated. We would like
to encourage exhibitors to use this facility and not leave any dogs in vehicles.

There
has been some confusion as to which groups are on which days. The correct order
is: Friday 7th Sept - Pastoral, Terrier and Working; Saturday 8th Sept - Gundog
and Utility; Sunday 9th Sept - Hound and Toy. Some diaries and internet sites
have printed the groups on the wrong days.
